That intrigued me, too, and I wondered what it was used for in South America so I had a look for some recipes/
From Perú: trigo atamalado ( like a soup) and picante de trigo (trigo with chile peppers and meat- Peruvians loooooove their chiles!)
From Mexico: albóndigas de trigo ( wheat meatballs) and ensalada de trigo y queso fresco (wheat berry salad with fresh cheese)
From Bolivia: Cha'aque de trigo (like a wheat berry soup with lamb)
From Spain: Guiso Murciano de trigo y garbanzos ( wheat berry & chickpea stew, from Murcia)

If any of them look interesting, I can probably translate them in a few minutes, so let me know.

Thank you! My search engine returned results from sites ending .pe which is the country code for Peru and the pages were translated on the fly in the browser!

Pippi was running low on cheese slices and little sausages...

Yep, that's very typical Peruvian cuisine. The use of " ají amarillo",(yellow chile) which is actually more orange than yellow, and their love of evaporated milk !

I can get those chili's at Morelo's Market! They're even labeled like you quoted!

Traipsing around some farmers/country markets today:

Forget all-beef hotdogs, all-pork is where it’s at! They also snuck in some English cheese, and note that packet of locally-raised lamb.

Five more of those ears of corn. I don’t usually buy jarred sauces, but I’ve been hankering for some sloppy joes, and there’s nothing in that one I wouldn’t put in my own - nothing artificial or found in a lab, and it’s made close by.

I’ve never had peanut butter granola before. That’s tomorrow’s breakfast for me.

The last of the local strawberries…those won’t see the sunrise tomorrow.

And always room for some birch beer.


Saw these and thought of kaneohegirlinaz

Hey, if you can do it to pizza, you can do it to bratwurst!

Grind up the cheese corn pops and bread the hotdogs!

Only needed carrots but the chicken, for Pippi, and the spray oil were on markdown and had a red meat urge when I saw the patties. Granted they shrunk a lot, happens when they don't tell you the fat %, but the one I had for lunch cooked in beef tallow was awesome!
